Your route to studying at the University of Leeds

Leeds International Study Centre works in collaboration with the University of Leeds and Leeds Beckett University to prepare students from outside the UK for successful degree study. Our courses are a great choice if you do not meet the entry requirements to apply directly to study at the University of Leeds, or if you would benefit from extra support and guidance.

Fantastic learning environment

You will gain the academic knowledge, language skills and confidence you need to prepare for success at the University of Leeds, and beyond. Once you successfully complete your academic course, and achieve the required progression criteria, you will have the opportunity to go on to study at the University of Leeds.

We have small classes, which means you'll get individual attention from teachers, and be able to ask more questions. You will also take part in lectures, seminars and tutorials so that you know what to expect when you progress to your degree at the University of Leeds.

Our teachers are experts in preparing students like you for university study – you will learn from doctors of chemistry, optoelectronics, and social research methodologies. Our teachers and staff will help you feel keep on track with your studies, and help you settle into your new life in the UK.

As a student at the Leeds International Study Centre you will have access to a range of fantastic facilities at Leeds Beckett University. These include libraries (open 24/7, every day of the year), online library and access to networked PCs.

Great location

Leeds International Study Centre is located at Headingley Carnegie Stadium, just a 10-15 minute walk from Leeds Beckett University's Headingley Campus.
